/r/OldSkaters
This subreddit is for the older skaters (anyone above 30). If you are a new old skater you are in the right place as well.
You can post your videos, give and receive tips on tricks you're having difficulty with, your new board setup, what you think would be good for a new skater to get and anything else you find relevant. Skaters of all skill levels are welcome.
There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage (See rules below before posting).
This subreddit is for the older skaters (anyone above 30). If you are a new old skater you are in the right place as well.
There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage (videos or photos).
Your post will be removed if it violates this rule.
This is implemented by design to allow the younger skaters to interact with the older skaters but not make the subreddit pointless.
If you are less than [30YO] and want to post your skating footage please use communities which are more appropriate (ex: r/skateboarding).
TITLE RULES:
Your post should contain the following tag at the end [ageYO], where age is your current age in numbers.
For example, I am 38 years old. Therefore, all my post titles this birthday year will be followed by the following:
[38YO]
Common issues:
. You are missing your age tag.
. You forgot to include YO in your age tag after age number.
. You did not enclose tag in square brackets [].
. You did not place the tag at the end of the title. (it should be the last thing, no periods after it).
Note: There is no age restriction as long as you are not posting your skating footage. If it doesn't make sense to specify an age just put [0YO].
You can post your videos, give and receive tips on tricks you're having difficulty with, your new board setup and anything else you find relevant. Skaters of all skill levels are welcome.

Mums and dads: board recommendations for kid [5YO]
Looking for a first board for the kid, not sure whether to go with something normal length but narrow as possible (<7.5). Mini/micro decks seem hard to find unless they are toy shop completes. Not against a complete, but interested in what you’ve had success with deck size wise, good brands etc. Thanks!!

Learning airs - pregrab first or straight to regular airs? [41YO]
I really want to learn airs, most frontside. Just to be able to bonk the coping and do a small air on a small/medium/whatever quarter and then come back in.
For those who can do this, do you think it’s best to first learn pregrab airs, and then gradually try to grab later? Or just go straight to grabbing once in the air?
Thanks!

Shoes and inserts for the inevitable future knee surgery gentleman [33YO]
What are you people skating for shock absorbing shoes and inserts? For reference I have multiple unrepairable meniscus tears, pattela tear and cartilage degeneration looking to get some shoes or inserts with the best impact protection.

Going through motions [49yo]
After all the good words from the community I got brave and posted this cheese. Finding myself not caring how I may look, just having a blast learning at a nice slow pace. 25 years ago when I tried to skate, I ran in headfirst, hurt myself a lot and never even learned fundamentals. Really giving it a patient, clear headed old man approach this time and I love it! Any criticism and advice is welcome

Deck for a 5YO [43YO]
Looking for a deck for my 5 year old to start off with. He has hopped on a few of my boards, had the dreaded slip backwards slam.
I’m looking for a more appropriate size for him. Brand deck size suggestions???

1990 My first official 'photo' at 14YO - If I Knew What The Caption Was Going To Be 😅 [49YO]
Caption: "Cowabunga, dude, Mark Nordstrom, 14, hangs two on Chandler Street."
Worcester, MA.
Street photographer wanted to know if me or my friend could ollie over him so he could take a shot while lying down and looking up. He actually just ran one of the 'warm-up' photos and put this caption on, which at 14 going on 15 and Frankie Hill as my idol, I wasn't too thrilled about 😅 All due respect to Bart
